READ THE PASSAGE AND GIVE THE ANSWER OF FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. Secularism is the very soul of Indian society and the democracy. India has

a tradition of co-existence, tolerance, co-operation and mutual respect

between all its social and religious groups. Islam came to India with Muslim

conquerors. A large number of natives turned Muslims over the period and

presently they make the second largest community of our nation. The

contribution of Islam to Indian culture and civilization has been spectacular.

It added variety, colour and richness to native heritage. Islam enriched

India with architectural wonders, the most precious being ‘Tajmahal’, the

symbol of aesthetic India. Christianity had preceded Islam to India. St.

Thomas, the twelve disciples of Christ arrived in India to preach his

message when St. Peter was in Rome. Paris came to India in 8th century

to escape from religious persecution in Iran. They brought Zoroastrianism.

Jews sailed to India 2000 year ago to settle down in Mumbai, Pune, Kochi

and Delhi. Hinduism itself was a religious conglomeration of thousands of

sects having distinct beliefs, rituals, customs and practices. Three nearly

different religions branched out of it, namely, Buddhism, Jainism and

Sikhism having separate places of worship and holy books. In all, India

remained a shining example of unity in diversity, nowhere else found in the

world.

Honouring this eternal spirit of India, our constitution makers declared our

nation to be a secular state without any discrimination. Although the people

of our country are deeply religious yet they don’t harbour any ill will or

intolerance against other faiths. Even during the freedom struggle theleaders who led it made secularism a basic policy to rally all the people

against the British. The secular polity was fiercely strengthened by

Mahatma Gandhi. Himself a deeply religious Hindu, he had great respect

for all other religions and faiths.

To divide the Indians, the colonial rulers tried to destroy file spirit of

secularism by aiding and abetting communal forces. Some of our people

forgot that sacred tradition and played in the hands of British. Our country

paid a terrible price for that lapse. India got divided into two nations and we

lost father of, the nation, Mahatma Gandhi to the bullets of a degenerated

fanatic who had no use for our secular legacy. It should teach us a lesson

that only secular spirit will keep India going.

1. drag the central argument paine presents and its two claims to complete the chart. argument claims america may have flourished more had it not been under the power of any european country. america may have flourished under britain in the past, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to flourish in the future. america will continue to flourish as long as the essential food products it sells are bought and eaten in europe. the american colonies will no longer flourish when britain makes war against them. britain's king has shown himself to be prejudiced against the colonies, rather than wanting them to flourish.

2.select the sentence in this passage that can be classified as a false statement.

although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. the warming of arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. remaining alert and using precautions can humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. traveling together and staying close to the group can humans avoid bear attacks. certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done.

3.select the sentence in this passage that demonstrates the fallacy of making an extreme either-or claim.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
